Spinal cord injury is frequently followed by the loss of supraspinal control of sensory,
autonomic and motor functions at the sublesional level. In order to enhance recovery in …

Spinal cord injury is frequently followed by the loss of supraspinal control of sensory,
autonomus and motor functions at sublesional level. To enhance recovery in patients with …

Traumatic injury to the spinal cord results in varying degrees of motor and sensory loss
below the site of injury. Although the deficits associated with a spinal cord injury (SCI) may …

Damage to the spinal cord has devastating consequences because injury induces neuronal
death, and the severed neural pathway does not regenerate. One of the major challenges in …

Purpose of review: Tremendous efforts and advances have been made in our understanding
of the neurobiology of spinal cord injury. This summary is intended to provide clinicians with …

Experimental spinal cord injury is no longer incurable. Many papers have appeared over the
past few years reporting functional recovery following a variety of treatments. These have …

Advances in medical and rehabilitative care now allow the 10–12,000 individuals who suffer
spinal cord injuries each year in the United States to lead productive lives of nearly normal …

OBJECTIVE: This article reviews the anatomic and pathophysiological bases for recovery of
neurological function after experimental or clinical spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS …

There is still no effective treatment to promote functional recovery following spinal cord
injury. However, promoting injury-induced adaptive changes (plasticity) within the central …

Trauma to the spinal cord involves the initial damage to the cells at the impact site, followed
by expansion of the injury as a result of secondary injury mechanisms. Early after injury …
